Before Your First Fire; Filling The Hopper; User Dial Control; Normal Startup Sequence - Quadra-Fire MTV-E2-CSB Owner's Manual

E. Before Your First Fire
1. First, make sure your appliance has been properly
installed and that all safety requirements have been met.
Pay particular attention to the fire protection and venting.
2. Double check that the firebox is empty and the firepot
floor is fully closed.
3. Close and latch the door.
F. Filling the Hopper
Open the hopper lid by lifting the handle. Fill the hopper
with fuel. Close the hopper lid. The unit will not feed with
the hopper lid open and the fire will go out.
NOTE: FOR USE WITH ONLY WOOD PELLET FUEL
G. User Dial Control
The appliance has one dial control located on the side of
the unit (behind a drop door) used for changing the heat
setting and restarting the appliance. There are five heat
settings on this dial ranging to include: LOW, MED-LOW,
MED, MED-HIGH, and HIGH. Figure 9.1
Turn the dial control to the desired heat setting and turn the
appliance ON and OFF using the remote thermostat.

H. Normal Startup Sequence
The unit will go into the ignition sequence followed by a
start up sequence (the green LED will flash rapidly).
The ignition sequence involves the exhaust blower and
igniter turning on, and the feed motor running in two stages.
The first stage involves the feed motor running continu o usly
for about a minute to preload pellets into the firepot. In the
second stage, the feed motor will begin cycling on and off.
When the pellets are warming - on the verge of igniting - it
is not uncommon for the firebox to fill with smoke.
Once ignition happens, the smoke should quickly disap-
pear. During this stage, as well as any part during the burn
process, the front door should not be opened.

This startup cycle continues until the unit senses ignition by
a rise in the exhaust temperature or the unit times out. Fol-
lowing the ignition cycle the unit continues to feed pellets to
build up the fire.
After warming up, the convection blower will begin to blow
warm air into the room. As the appliance increases heat
the blower will increase its output.
I. Firepot Purge
Purpose: To help remove debris from the firepot and help
the unit burn as efficient as possible.
The frequency of the purge cycle is once every 50 minutes
while the unit is burning. During the firepot purge, the feed
is reduced to the lowest setting and the exhaust blower
ramps up to a very high setting. The purge cycle lasts 99
seconds.
J. Shutdown
To shut the appliance down, turn the dial control to OFF
or turn the thermostat to OFF. During the shutdown pro-
cess, the light will flash green rapidly just like the ignition
sequence.
Unlike the firepot purge, during shutdown existing fuel in
the firepot will continue to burn without the feed motor run-
ning; but, the exhaust and convection blowers will remain
on until the exhaust has cooled.
NOTE: If maintenance or daily cleaning is going to be
conducted immediately following a shutdown, please use
caution as components especially those inside the firebox
HI
may still be hot.
Due to safety precautions:
•
•
7080-132B
The purge cycle does not replace daily cleaning.
If the dial control is turned to OFF and back on (even
if by mistake) the unit will go through the shutdown
sequence before restarting.
Additionally, if the remote thermostat is set to "OFF" or
"THERMOFF" during operation the appliance will go
through a shutdown sequence before restarting.
CAUTION
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING
AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.
